Ladybugs 🐞

I have seen so many ladybugs in the past week. They are everywhere.

I looked through my decks but didn’t find any cards about ladybugs so I did a little digging.

There are many associations with ladybugs depending on the lens you look through. The one that stood out to me because I am living it is renewal and new beginnings.

Ladybugs are a sign or renewal and new beginnings. For me this aligns. The summer brought a lot of upheaval and change. As we begin to embrace fall I strive to embrace these changes, this newness.

This is the year of endings, and I have experienced many endings these past few months. I work to sit with the pain and grief endings bring while being hopeful for what new beginning will emerge.

Change is challenging. We like what we know even if it doesn’t feel good. When I see the ladybugs I remind myself these shifts may be hard and something new awaits on the other side.

2 months.

2 months of missing you.

It’s hard to imagine this will be the rest of my life, missing her. The 14 years I had with her is worth the hurt of losing her and living without her.

My little bird. My sweet little bean. 💜

June was a heck of a month.

June 1 I noticed a little bump on my bottom eyelid, it was sore but I thought I was just getting a stye. By the end of the day I was starting to get a red patch on my check. Again I didn’t think too much of the red patch because so far I have not gotten the full butterfly flush from lupus I’ve only gotten a half butterfly and thought that’s all this was because of the stye.

The next morning I woke up and my whole right side of my face was swollen so much so it was difficult to move my eye and impeding my vision.

I wasn’t able to get into the doctor until June 5 when I took the top photo. My doctor was concerned that I had a skin infection that had spread to my eye and sent me to emergency. The ER doctor told me I had shingles and because of the proximity to my eye it was a concern. Thankfully my eye was ok and the shingles didn’t spread to my eye.

Things got worse before they got better and I was left with some pretty deep scars as a result. To say I was upset would be an understatement. Every where I went I could feel people staring and I was so self conscious.

I started working with at the end of June. Emily is beyond amazing. She provided treatments and home care to aid in my healing. She told me what products to use and which ones to avoid. I don’t have words for how grateful I am to her for saving my face. Not only did she work to improve the aesthetic of my face, she understood and held space for the mental load the whole experience had on me. She is so kind and compassionate and you can feel that energy by just being around her.

Emily is incredible. She goes above and beyond by checking in and reminding me how far we had come with progress pictures.

I truly have no words and thank you will never be enough but thank you Emily 💜

My bean. My bird. My girl. My Chicken.

There are no words for the love I have for this little bean. There are no words for the hurt my soul feels with her passing.

Weens was my Velcro dog, she was everywhere I was and I did everything with her. Navigating this journey of grief aches as I see her everywhere.

Our sweet bird crossed the rainbow bridge June 30 due to her gallbladder bursting. She left how she lived surrounded by love and in my arms.

If love could have saved her she would have out lived us all.

I’ll wait for you beanie until you find me again.

💜In this life, I hope you remember to live💜

This past weekend I had the honour and privilege of celebrating my grandmother’s 90th birthday. She is an incredible woman who has lead a remarkable life. The things she has overcome are astonishing and she is an inspiration to me.

In celebrating her I was reminded of the importance of not just getting through the daily grind, surviving the situations life gives us, but to ensure we live them. Live each day, each moment.

Life is meant to be lived and experienced. We are not here to just enjoy the things that feel nice we are here to experience all of it. When we truly let ourselves feel pain or loss we afford ourselves the opportunity to fully feel love and joy.

You may feel like there are so many things you have to do, have to accomplish and as you do I hope you remember to live.

All the love.

Yoga Nidra, Sound Bath & Acupuncture 💜

Join .revival.retreats on Saturday Feb. 8 from 7:00-8:30 for an evening of rest and relaxation.

Yoga Nidra is a beautiful practice that transports you to the space between sleep and wakefulness allowing for the gentle release of blockages within the whole system.

Acupuncture uses the meridians of the body to release stagnant energy. This portion of the practice is completely optional.

Sound baths use crystal bowls to attune to the frequencies of the body.

This evening promises to be one of gentle rejuvenation and calming rest 💜💕💜

Closure

We seek closure to feel comfort and in doing so create more discomfort.

We look for closure outside of ourselves, we ask for it of others and never receive the closure we need.

This is because closure comes from within. No on can provide you with closure, you have to allow yourself to receive it from within.

When we walk our authentic path to we can more easily make choices from our heart. Sometimes our heart lets us know it’s time to move on, to close the door and start a new chapter.

When this message comes from our heart and we can receive it we have all the closure we need as we know we are doing right by ourselves. When this message arises and we are struggling to be in a heartfelt space we will likely look for closure from outside ourselves.

The only one who can provide you closure is you.

Be curious when you get caught up in looking for closure and ask ‘what does my heart need?’

Be easy sweet ones.

All the love on this journey 💜💗💜

What do you do that’s just for you?

It can be easy to give our whole life away piece by piece to things that we think we need to do.

We can find fulfillment in some of these things but often times we are not doing them for ourselves we are doing them for others which can leave us feeling devoid and empty.

What is something that is just for you?

What is something that brings you pure joy?

I’ve taken up Pilates in the last couple of years and it is the thing I do just for me. It’s time I dedicate to myself and I love it.

I’m so grateful for the community I’ve found at the instructors, front desk staff and all the beautiful members make this space truly something special.

What is your thing that is just for you?

If you don’t have one I wonder if you can be curious as to why?

May this be a time of reflection.

Reflecting on what was as it will always be.

Reflecting on what wasn’t.

Reflecting on what worked, what didn’t and how you define those things that work and don’t work.

Reflecting on who you have been, and noticing if it is who you want to continue to be.

We can get so lost in this time with the pressures of goal setting that we forget nature is asking us to be still and reflect.

What do you see in the stillness?

What do you learn from reflecting?

Day 12 of 25 Days of Buti. Natarajasana |/ Dancer Pose in Your Favorite Dress

Prompt: What makes you feel beautiful?

I feel the most beautiful, confident and radiant when I teach or practice Buti. I feel like my whole soul shines through when I’m practicing or teaching. Even though it is a physical practice it is like my body disappears and only my soul exists. I think the magic of the practice is I don’t get caught up in how I look at all, I’m only aware of how I feel and to me that is beautiful.

I no longer have my favourite dress. My absolute favourite dress to this day was the black swan tutu I wore for a ballet solo in I think grade 7. I loved this tutu. I loved how it made me feel. I loved this solo. The song. It was a cello and so moody and was everything I needed at that time. I always felt so beautiful on stage and it’s something I find when I’m teaching.
